I’m a makeup pro but my prom look was the biggest fail of my life – my eyebrows are in a constant state of anger
WE’VE all felt that moment of dread when we take a trip down memory lane and look back at old school photos.
But no one more so than makeup pro Mikayla Nogueira, who has branded her prom makeup the “biggest embarrassment of my lifetime thus far.”
Instead of trying to repress it to the back of her memory, the beauty whizz took a rather different approach – and decided to recreate the “worst” makeup she’s ever done.
“First thing’s first, we need to cover up the eyebrows,” she begins, in a video shared to TikTok.
“I ain’t shaving my eyebrows off – no, no, no.”
Mikayla proceeds to plaster them down, before setting them with translucent powder.
“I’m going to take a full coverage concealer and I’m basically going to paint concealer over my brows,” she explains.
“Trust the process.”

She then blends it with a sponge, sets with a press powder and adds a second layer of concealer.
Next, the makeup guru applies a really light matt foundation.
“Then I’d do 2016 style concealer which is like the triangle under the eyes in a shade that’s darker than the foundation,” she explains.
Mikayla then moves onto the main talking point – her eyebrows.
“The reason I did my eyebrows like this, I may have idolised a certain someone like a lot,” she says.
“I used an angle brow brush and the goal was to have more room to do eye shadow tbh.
“I went all through high school doing my eyebrows like this and no one said a word.”
The makeup guru then adds bronzer “very harshly” to her cheekbones and forehead, before adding winged eyeliner and white eyeliner on her waterline.
She then finishes the look with some fake eyelashes and a “tonne of highlighter.”
Mikayla quips: “These brows make me look like I’m in a constant state of anger…so that’s why no one wanted to date me in high school.”
The post has since gone viral, garnering a whopping 7.9 million views and several comments from very amused social media users.
“You were angry all night,” joked one.
A second quipped: “Anybody only saw the brows and not the rest of the makeup?”
A third penned: “CRYING! THE BROWS.”
Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: “That was literally your villain era.”
Another added: “The fact that no one told you NOTHING!!”
